Janessa Rowe is a twenty one year old college girl with
little respect for other people. She’s a rich, spoiled brat of a girl who gets
her kicks out of humiliating others. When she discovers that her boyfriend of
three years has in fact engaged in a physical relationship with someone else,
Janessa will stop at nothing to get a little payback. Even if that means using
her new rival’s disgruntled fiancée to get what she wants.

Dakota Blackwater is everything Janessa is not. He’s kind,
sweet, gentle, and a stand-up guy all in all, but when his girlfriend’s
betrayal hurts more than his pride, he agrees to take part in a plan that will
test both their self-restraints and their feelings for one another.

Problems arise, however, when Janessa’s interest for Dakota
shifts from being a pawn to achieve her ultimate goal, to potential lover.
After having her heart broken in the past, the last thing she wants is to get
involved in matters of the heart, but how can she follow through with her plan
when the more time she spends with Dakota, the less she cares about getting
payback? Sooner rather than later they are forced to confront the reality that
their game has slowly transformed into something else and that what seemed like
a scheme to exact revenge, now comprises both their hearts in ways neither of
them anticipated.

Excerpt:

Shaking his head as if to clear it of unpleasant
thoughts, Dakota gulped down the remainder of my beer. I watched as some of the
liquid dribbled down his chin and though I would deny it to end if anyone asked
me, I felt the sudden itch to reach up and lick the golden liquid off of his
skin with my tongue. I so desperately wanted to know what his skin tasted like
and the powerful urge was strong enough to force my insides to grow heated just
thinking about it.

Whoa! What the hell? What am I thinking? It’s the
lack of a sex life. Yeah, that has to explain my perverted thoughts.

My cheeks burning, I opted for distracting myself
by looking away before I ended up embarrassing us both. Having inappropriate
thoughts about my companion wasn’t going to help either or us. Sure, he was
attractive in his own way. He was tall and well-built. His face was perfectly
sculpted with high cheek bones, a pair of full lips, and hawk like nose, which
only added to his allure. Regardless whether he was my type or not, at that
moment, I found him more than just a little interesting.
